Chapter 364: Chapter 216: Upper Rank God Meeting
「About two hours later.」
After hearing the plan Zorn had laid out, Ossirion sat opposite him, head bowed in silence.
After a long silence, he suddenly raised his head to look at Zorn, an unusual light flickering in his eyes.
"This plan of yours... it’s far too bold."
"But if you pull it off, the results would be truly incredible."
"Not only would it allow you to ascend to the rank of Ancient God, but it could also help several other promising, top-tier Upper Rank Gods do the same."
"It might even allow our Calamity Court to reign supreme over the Star Realm Cosmic."
"Reign supreme over the Star Realm Cosmic? I think that’s an exaggeration."
Zorn said, shaking his head.
"But once a plan like this is set in motion, unifying the Star Dust Plateau is very likely."
"The problem is, the three great Ancient Gods are unlikely to participate directly. So, I’m not sure how many of the Calamity Court’s Upper Rank God factions you can rally to our side."
Zorn’s Cosmic Magic Net had already spread across the entire Star Dust Plateau.
Over the years, he had sensed the three seniors delving deep into the Cosmic Magic Net to survey the entire Star Dust Plateau on numerous occasions.
Clearly, the three seniors were very interested in unifying the Star Dust Plateau.
However, they had no intention of getting directly involved.
’It seems they hope that new-generation Divine Spirits like me will use this Mythical Wave as an opportunity to become Ancient Gods.’
’That means once my plan is underway, I’ll have to gather the necessary power myself.’
Although Zorn was famous within the Divine Kingdom, his actual influence and backing didn’t even amount to a fraction of what Ossirion commanded.
"In terms of personal strength, I wouldn’t dare claim to be at the level of a peak Upper Rank God within the Divine Kingdom. But when it comes to rallying our various factions... I can’t promise eighty or ninety percent of our forces, but I’m confident I can gather at least half."
"After all... this is a chance to become an Ancient God."
"Even if they can’t become an Ancient God in this era, just by participating, they can build up their foundation of Ancient Sacred Marks and have a chance to break through and ascend during the next wave."
"Any Upper Rank God faction that doesn’t hold a grudge against our own will inevitably join in for a chance like this."
Zorn felt a great sense of relief upon hearing Ossirion’s words.
The various Upper Rank Gods in the Divine Kingdom, though nominally part of the same power, had formed numerous competing cliques in the absence of direct leadership from the Ancient Gods.
"Currently, our Calamity Court Divine Kingdom has five top-tier Upper Rank Gods of astonishing power."
"Each of these five is an ancient being who has lived for millions, or even tens of millions, of years."
"Through one Mythical Wave after another, they have all more or less accumulated a portion of the Ancient Sacred Mark."
"Furthermore, their foundations of both Ancient Essence and Cosmic Essence are also quite formidable."
’Top-tier Upper Rank Gods who are millions, even tens of millions, of years old...’
Zorn mused silently.
Of course, Zorn already knew about these five unique individuals in the Calamity Court Divine Kingdom.
However, he was careful not to reveal too much, listening humbly to Ossirion’s explanation instead.
"This recent offensive by our Calamity Court against the Dark Cosmic Realm was secretly instigated by these five top-tier beings."
"After all, unless the very survival of our realm is at stake, the Ancient Gods do not intervene lightly."
"It wasn’t until we discovered the Dark Cosmic Realm’s deep connection to that mysterious Cosmic Altar that the great Ancient Gods finally intervened."
"Essentially, as long as the Ancient Gods don’t weigh in, all matters within the Divine Kingdom, large and small, are managed by these five top-tier Upper Rank Gods."
"Aside from these five, known as the ’Ancient Sacred Mark·Upper Rank Gods,’ there are also a dozen or so major and minor factions led by high-rank ’Holy Star·Upper Rank Gods.’ While they can’t compare to the five with Ancient Sacred Marks, they are still top-tier beings who have possessed exceptionally brilliant ’Divine Kingdom’s Holy Stars’ over millions of years of history."
Ancient Sacred Mark!
Divine Kingdom’s Holy Star!
Zorn was no stranger to these designations for unique types of Upper Rank Gods.
Even among Upper Rank Gods like Zorn who had reached Level 30, there were still disparities in power.
For instance, powerful Divine Kingdoms with a Thousand-Ring Rune Magic Ring would inevitably shine as exceptionally brilliant stars within the vast Star Realm Cosmic.
This was why they were called "Holy Star·Upper Rank Gods."
A thousand Rune Magic Rings made one a 1 Holy Star Upper Rank God.
Three thousand Rune Magic Rings was 3 Holy Stars.
Five thousand Rune Magic Rings was 5 Holy Stars.
Right now, Zorn’s own Rune Magic Ring numbered just over three thousand, which meant he had also reached the threshold of 3 Holy Stars.
Holy Star·Upper Rank Gods were not uncommon within the divine kingdoms of major powers.
But High Star Rank Holy Star Ancient Gods were exceedingly rare.
The so-called "high-rank" referred to those at 7-Star and above.
To reach the level of 3 Holy Stars immediately upon ascending to Upper Rank God was a rare feat, even across the vast expanse of ancient history.
The "Ancient Sacred Mark·Upper Rank Gods," however, were even more formidable.
Possessing an "Ancient Sacred Mark," they could wield a portion of an Ancient God’s might and methods.
Therefore, these Divine Spirits with Ancient Sacred Marks were also known as "Half-Step Ancient Gods."
Each of these "Half-Step Ancient Gods" was a potential candidate expected to ascend to the rank of Ancient God during every Mythical Wave.
Ossirion’s status was extraordinary; he was a former peak Legendary within the Divine Kingdom.
Furthermore, he was one of the Twelve Peak Legendaries.
He had dealings with all of these powerful beings.
It was because of this, combined with Zorn’s astonishing plan, that he dared claim he could rally such powerful Upper Rank Gods.
